Where Did January Go?

Did this month disappear for anyone else too? I blinked and missed it, and I'm sorry I've been out of touch.

But for the "story of the week"...after last week's Thursday night bible study Marion, Amy, and I were leaving at the same time and had to take advantage of the snow that has recently decided to stick around the city. Of course, everyone knows that the best and most spontaneous way to do this is to have a snowball fight-! Even though it was around 10pm, we strategically ducked between cars parked on the street while forming more snowballs despite our freezing hands, and verbally shouted our disbelief when we were actually hit...ok so maybe we were being a little loud. But the funny part is that we were causing all this ruckus in English (as in, the few words that were spoken were not in the tongue of the country where we found ourselves), and there happened to be a couple of women standing outside a building across the street who, after a couple minutes, loudly said, "Uhh, we're in Germany!" Marion quickly responded (in German) that we can all speak German as well, and even if not fluently, I was glad she said something to that rude lady who was convinced only her German language was allowed. Mensch!
